The Facts Fabric | A thrifted, seems like rayon, skirt.
Patterns | None, refashioned on the fly.
Year | Current.
Notions | Thread and elastic.
Time to complete | About a half hour hour.
First worn | To take silly, late night indoor pics.
Wear again? | I think so. I'm always so gun shy about strapless tops. I mean, it's not like I go to the roller derby or...engage in on-the-fly wrestling matches. What exactly am I so worried about?
Total price | $5 for the skirt, the elastic was free and my new sewing machine was $149 ;o) My finally-found-one-big-enough-for-my-noggin Fedora was $8. I kinda love it!
I had such high hopes for this week. It was to be my triumphant return to the land of working sewing machines where challenges are turned in on time(ish). I was going to make something fabulous and flirty and fitted and...and....Let's just say, I had BIG plans. Alas, thanks to the absolute idiots working at my local FedEx depot, the machine that I expected to be delivered last Saturday didn't arrive then. Every time I talk about it, I get vexed all over again. The nitty & gritty (including a screenshot of a deleted rage filled tweet) has been documented on my blog, if you care to read about it.

So sorry to read about your sewing machine woes! But the top and skirt are a fun summery hot little red number. :) Go bold and wear it out, girl! Just make sure not to wrestle in it. ;)-Seeks, EOD
LOL!! Thanks!! I'll keep my wrestling in the gym ;o)
